Cisco UCS C22 M3 High-Density SFF Rack-Mount Server

CONFIGURING the SERVER
Approved Configurations
(1) No RAID controller plug-in card
■ If you did not choose a plug-in RAID controller card (for example, you selected software
RAID (LSI MegaSR) or no RAID controller at all), you can select up to one PCIe option card
listed in
Tab le 8 on page 21 for 1-CPU configurations or up to two cards for 2-CPU
configurations.
(2) One RAID controller plug-in card
■ If you selected a plug-in PCIe RAID controller, you cannot select any additional PCIe cards for
1-CPU configurations; however, you can select one additional optional PCIe cards for 2-CPU
configurations.
Caveats
■ Only a single Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and it must be
installed in the full-height slot of riser 1, which is the only slot that supports NCSI.
■ All PCIe cards will fit in either riser 1 or riser 2, except the VIC card, which must be installed
in the full-height slot of riser 1. The Cisco 1225 VIC card must be plugged into slot 1, which
supports NCSI.
■ Additional considerations for the Cisco 1225 VIC card:
— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
— Supported only in PCIe slot 1 of this server. Slot 1 can operate while the server is in
standby power mode.
— Requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6) or later installed. There is
a heartbeat LED on the top of the card that indicates when firmware is active.
— To use this card for UCS integration (Cisco UCS Manager mode) with Cisco UCS
Manager 2.1(0) or later, the minimum card-firmware and uboot image level is
2.1(0.306).
■ To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the card you have selected,
check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:

NOTE: If a plug-in RAID controller card is installed, any optional PCIe card you select
will be installed in the full-height slot. RAID controllers are always installed in the
half-height slot.
